i was getting my car smogged and skimmed through an article in a magazine that seemed to imply the bmw k bikes were far worse than even harley in reliability much worse than any other bike in factory support of obvious design flaws dang i have a chance to get one but i can not find the article about how bad they were has anyone seen it personal experience the article talked about tranny and clutch failure and final drive failure and the factory actively resisting even warranty repairs is this even close to true i wish i had been paying more attention but i wasnt thinking about buying one
